What color is Benjamin Moore Hunter Green?

Benjamin Moore Hunter Green 2041-10 is a deep, muted green with a cool, charcoal-like cast that keeps it from reading overly leafy or bright. Its low-light depth makes it especially effective on cabinetry, built-ins, interior doors, and a single enveloping wall in a study or dining room. In bright natural light, the green becomes more apparent, while evening lighting can pull it toward a near-black green with a softened blue-gray edge. Pair this shade with warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, or cognac leather to bring out its earthy character. For a quieter palette, layer it with stone gray, putty beige, and matte black accents.

What are Benjamin Moore Hunter Green undertones?

Hunter Green is a deep, muted green with low brightness and moderate saturation, giving it a dense, near-black appearance in many settings. The supplied digital sample reads primarily as green, with a slight lean toward a cooler, blue-green direction rather than a yellow-green one. Benjamin Moore describes it as a dark green “full of depth,” which matches its visibly dark main color family; the official description does not specify an undertone. Warm artificial light may make its darkness feel softer and bring out any subtle warmth in surrounding materials, while cool daylight can keep the green reading cleaner and slightly crisper.

LRV of Hunter Green

Hunter Green has an LRV of 6.39% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).

Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 6.39%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft² living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
